on a side note, mark, how much cooking equipment is there really do you think. I'm planning on bringing a pizza, some pasta and sauce, bread/cheese/, scrambled eggs, i'll be able to cook all those things with the stuff they provide you right? or should i bring a pan down or something.

also me and ferds are planning on being at bath by 12 to pick up phil and then at minehead by about 2, that sound ok to you?

there are plenty of saucepans, plates, bowls and cooking utensils for a chalet of 4. In the past, I've usually cooked up a big meal each night (pasta, chilli, curry, something like that), and left it in the pan on the hob for people to pop in and re-heat when they wish in the event that people end up eating at different times.

My brother is planning on driving through Taunton at about 1pm, so I expect that we'll be there by about 2pm too. Oh yeah, I forgot to say, I need to fill out an insurance form, and it requires everyone's addresses. Can you (and Ferdy) PM or facebook them across? Chars, m'dars.

but yeah, pepper mint tea and a bland diet will make it go away.. there are several different types of IBS.. depending if you are running all the time or cant go at all... and the pains can range from slight to sever.

i used to think "omg, it's so weird how i get really bad tummy aches whenever i get excited or nervous." then it got so bad i went to the doctor, and had a dietician for a while. until she got too expensive.
cutting out really carby foods helps, like pasta and white bread. try quinoa instead. don't eat for a few hours before you go to bed. identify situations that stress you out (for me it's stuff like travelling, and interviews) and try not to eat any "trigger" foods around then.
oh and cutting out alcohol can help too. :(
